"I'm not a purist when it comes to my miniatures."! And THAT is how you keep the stress out of these projects, people! Waydago, Gretchen!
Thank You! I'm a Miniaturist that's into the FUN, not Absolute Accuracy! I have to deal with that enough in Real LIFE!😂🤣😂🤭
😍 Love the Liner! The rounded case is my choice, but you're right there needs to be variation. It's great to keep the pieces you don't favor for that purpose! Thanks for sharing your lovely miniature visions!!🥰
Thank you ! Yes I think reflection is definitely important in your journey to see how much you have grown as an artist!
Absolutely darling! You make it look totally do-able! Thanks so much, as always! Kathleen
You are so welcome! Just take it step by step, you can do it! Thank you for watching!
You are so right about all the differences adding realism. It adds detail and visual noise that you need to be believable. Also you are very kind and like motherly to your viewers it’s so friggin sweet and lovely I could cry.
THANK YOU 😊🥲 THIS comment Truly made me Smile! My family says l think warm Pound Cake and a cup of coffee fixes everything! My kids tell me l'm everybody's MOM!🤣so the fact that is coming through on my channel is like WOW 😳! 🤣😀☺️. RE: adding variety, I hate seeing "sea of same" it looks and feels unrealistic! Mixing it up so much fun to do. Thank you for being here and watching ❤️
It's so nice to listen to you. I feel in a safe space.
Thank you Eduard! I am So glad to hear that this feels safe! That is Such a Wonderful compliment! I appreciate you for allowing me to share.
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I'm dealing with annoying anxiety and your videos make me feel perfectly healthy.
This series has been so much fun! I bought my own metal nail stud decorations. I love how you used some to fill the nail holes in the glued on hinges. Brilliant
I couldn't wait to get to these! I always LOVED Vintage looking Luggage! Ok I like Vintage Looking EVERYTHING! Yes nail art is Perfect and wonderful for detailing things! Glad you liked the nail stud in the holes ! Crazy part is the hinges actually came with teeny tiny brass nails.... I looked at them and i was like NOPE! LOLOLLOL! I'll find another use for them! Thank you for watching!!!!
@Little Gretchen's Workshop That was a good call. I've tried to attach those hinges with the provided nails, and it's a nightmare.
Gretchen you are a master designer. And a master designer always becomes a master instructor. A master knows it’s not about the framework it’s always about the trim. I love that you go with instinct instead of rulers. I love it!!! Thank You for your knowledge!
I’m loving all your diy ideas..!! ❤
Thank you for letting me know that you are enjoying my content! I appreciate you for watching and allowing me to share!💖💖💖💖💖
Loved this one. I have always liked this kind of suitcase.
Me too Kerry! I could wait to get to this part of the series! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Vintage LOOK! It's so much Fun making things look like they have EXISTED for years although I just made them last week! LOLOLOLOL!
Ooh!I like the suitcase, I want to make some for the top of my 1930/40s wardrobe😀
THAT would be So Cute!!! YES YES YES!! I Wish and would Love to see your project! That is So exciting! I may need to start a GROUP so everyone can share an show their work! Thank you for sharing and being here!
I love this tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you much! I'm Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your feedback!!
Thank you! This will translate nicely to a trunk from the 1700s. (I'm scratch-building a small French chateau from the 1700s.) I appreciate all I've learned from you.
Sounds great WOW! Well I've got more coming, so stay tuned!!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching and allowing me to share!
Love them all Gretchen! The ticking is perfect for the liners. It looks just like fabric. You are so encouraging...and wise, especially for us that are new. In my case, it's the first time for every project! 😂I like to hear your calming voice telling me to be patient with myself and don't give up until I get the result that makes me happy. Thanks Gretchen, you're a great mentor 🥰✨
AWWW Thank you! I'm just giving back what Daddy gave me, "patient encouragement"! I know how much it means and how powerful it can be, when yo are allowed to "practice and grow" in a safe place.......It's EVERYTHING! Thank you for watching and giving me such a kinds compliment!
Gretchen, you are a wonderful miniaturist. I absolutely love the little suit cases. I can't wait to try your method without measuring. I hate to measure, since I can't read a tape measure anyway. LOL 🙂
THANK YOU AMY!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL! AMY this Comment tickled me so much! I always struggled with math as a child and I dreaded fractions! My Daddy was very meticulous and accurate, very neat and precise! That just was NOT ME! I take my time, I learned to measure with my fingers and hands for Width and length. I do "TRY fit /DRY fit ,before i glue things and SAND alot ( I hate SANDING too), but That became my work around. The only time i am really strict about measuring is when I'm MIXING chemicals i use with my ART or when BAKING in REAL life! LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Thank you for watching and being here!
Wow. Looks like you've been posting for a year and UA-cam is just now showing me your channel! Glad I found you. Love your boxes and bags series.
HI Patty! Glad to have you here!!! WELCOME TO LITTLE GRETCHEN'S WORKSHOP!!! Thank for choosing to be a part of my journey!!!
Love how you did it❤
Thank you I love making suitcases and luggage! Is really amusing to look at when I'm done! Thank You for watching ☺️💖💖💖
Love the suitcase, it turned out amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
THANKS CHRIS!!!!
Beautiful! Thank u for giving us inspiration to keep on going! Your voice is soothing,& just brings a smile to my face!
Thank you! That warms my heart to think that I am making someone smile! I definitely want you to be encouraged to continue! It's hard sometimes trying to do something new, trying new techniques and materials. I try to give back what was given to me by My Father. Thank you for watching!
What a clever way to add closures! It gives options for a closed, partially open or fully open suitcase. That means so much, I would have to put some in the rooms fixed to look like they are still being unpacked ☺ . The ideas are flying in my head, I could use the same technique on a jewel box I need for a diorama I'm collecting for. You are a gem and I'm loving this series! xoxo
Glad it was helpful! Yes I have plans to have some in rooms looking like people are either packing or unpacking! Even made one that doesn't close, MADE purely to display contents! So glad you find value!!
The paper is so cute, lined up just right
Thank i actually feel i will be using any wallpaper that I don't want to put on WALLS to just line suitcases, boxes and Trunks!!! I love anything with stripes. It is so much easier than when use Fabric to line them. Fabric is very cute but really very tedious! Thank you for watching!
Adorable per usual. I'm ALWAYS AMAZED at your talent. TYVM
Thank you so much! i truly appreciate you for watching an letting me know you are enjoying MY FUN!!!!
They're realistic! Love your work and your channel!
Thank you! I appreciate you for being here!
Hello, they look great, I'm loving this series of tutorials, thank you for showing us how to make them, and for your encouraging words, you really have inspired me to make some luggage for my dolls house, I'm looking forward to your next video,
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England, UK 🇬🇧
You are so welcome! I'm just giving back what Daddy gave me...lots of encouragement! Thank you again for watching!!
You are so creative and skillful. I always learn something new!
Thanks so much 😊 I'm over here just letting the "Little GIRL" inside of me have FUN! Thank you for watching!
I love that you keep encouraging your viewers. Although I have many years of painting, drawing and ceramics skills, working in small doll house scale is very challenging for me. I am a total beginner at this, but have always loved collecting miniature items, including small dolls. So thanks again for your wonderful channel!
That is So Wonderful to hear! Yes even if you have been crafting for years this is NEW and it's a different and it's TINY! Even within the this niche there are so many different mediums and materials! I have been making miniatures since i was about 7 years old, most of what i do is by hand and I'm self taught for the most part. There are wonderful machines and products that didn't even exist when i started! So there is always something new to learn! Keep creating and learning and be patient with yourself in the process! Thank you or being here!
Awesome! Can't wait to try and makes some. Thank you.
Have fun! I'm so glad you are inspired to try it!! Thank you for being here!!
I'm slowly making my way through all your videos. I just love how normal you are! A little bit messy with the glue, using up your scraps and bits and pieces, and not using expensive tools or supplies. Please don't take that as an insult, I actually mean it as a compliment. It's like crafting with one of the girls, sharing tips and tricks. So much fun!
THANK YOU Nessie! I Truly take it as a compliment ☺️! I just have to be Me 😅! Most of the time I'm allowing " Little GRETCHEN" ( my child Self) to create under my guidance, l try to let her JUST HAVE FUN and instead of restricting her to be neat! Things flow much better than way! I'm so GLAD to hear my Freestyle and excessive glue doesn't offend you! I appreciate your feedback so MUCH ❤️Thank you for watching ☺️
Actually it's the opposite with the free styling glue! It's such a comfort whenever I see someone else with glue every where like me, half the time I end up glued to my projects hahaha
Oh this is so cute Gretchen! I want to make this for me Indiana Jones room!
HEY WHITNEY !!!!That WOULD BE PERFECT! A GOOD OLD SUITCASE COMES in handy in so many different Scenes! ENJOY!!! Thank you for watching!!!
I hate to measure, too! I feel like we are kindred souls. 🥰 The suitcases are really cute, and the striped paper is perfect for the lining. :) I feel inspired to go make some little suitcases for Grandma and Grandpa, who are visiting the dollhouse for the family reunion. I think they might like me to finish the kitchen first, though, so they can eat! 😄
Lololol 😂 I feel bad Sometimes because I feel like it slows me down! 😅Yes I hope you do make the suitcases for your Dolls but you better get that Kitchen done before they, complain and sign a petition like my Dolls did about the ROOMING HOUSE BATHROOM!! Thank You for watching❤️
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Yes, Grandma wants to do some baking for those precious grandbabies! 😄 I foresee tiny cookies in my future.
This don't make no sense...I know my blouse not gonna fit, but I still wanna take this suitcase!! You a baddie! I'm so proud of you Sis!
Just over here having FUN!!!!THANK YOU ❤️😊😊
amazing work 👌 beautiful 💼
Thank you! Cheers!
I wish I'd seen this video over a year ago when I was trying to hinge a bedroom chest. I'm pretty sure I purchased the same hinges through Amazon. It didn't go so well because the width of the basswood wasn't thick enough, not to mention the awkwardness of trying to fasten studs that tiny. So I could've just super glued it! I wouldn't think the hold would be strong enough, but obviously it is. I will definitely try this, thanks! Also, the suitcases are super cute!
I feel you PEGGY! I have had that experience before and I began to look for a better way. SUPER GEL glue is amazing because it's not runny, and it sets really quickly! I've used it to make things years ago and its still holding! GO ahead and redo that hinged bedroom chest! Let me know how it turns out!
I will, but I'll have to wait til I get home to Marquette in March, the chest is in my bungalow. I also love Super Glue Gel, I've learned to look for the green cap, not the blue!
love these!! where did you get the studs? and or what size are they? I thought you cut the little nail things down. at first. Thanks for posting!
Thank you! It's just nail art studs! Of got them off Amazon! There is a link below video. The pack has assorted sizes! Have fun and thank you for watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 hahahha.. man I must have had a brain fart... I didn't even look in the description.. like I usually do. thanks so much!
yikes... in canada these nail art studs at amazon are $43.65 with free shipping LOL.
If you were to make it look like leather, I have found that if you paint modpodge on the wood it's easy to paint it to look like leather. I am a firm believer in fake it till you make it. LOL
I've also found that mod podge on paper acts similar to fabric.
YES! MOD PODGE IS an AMAZING PRODUCT! I keep it on hand! It's Good for so many different things!
Yes I love creating illusions when I'm making my miniatures! It also will make fabric and paper look and feel like PLASTIC! LOLLOL! It is wonderful! Thank you for watching!
Adorable. Sorry to say, though, but some of the hyper-close camera work was a little dizzying.
Hello and Thank you! I appreciate your feedback 😃! I hope my newer videos are better! Thank you for watching 😊💖
Hi Gretchen another great video ....great info on the hinges especially the tip to tape the lid and box together. I also really appreciate how you remind the viewer how long things actually take, I'm constantly telling myself patience patience patience lol 💕😃👍🏻👏🏻
So Glad this video was helpful! When I figured out how to do that for matching up the hinges it changed my LIFE 😅😂🤣😆🤭!!! Yes Patience is so important in the creative learning process! It takes time to create something Beautiful ❤️ Thank You for watching ☺️
